I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 186 - 173: The Demon-Breaking Dagger and the [Ring of Fire Resistance]

The temporarily released magic barrier, before the strange dagger, was as frail as a sheet of paper.

However, that brief moment of pause and the temporary visibility were enough for Lynn. He stomped his right foot on the ground, using the reaction force to quickly lean back, avoiding the dagger aimed at his neck, and fell to the ground together with the chair behind him, followed by several rolls to increase the distance.

However, as Lynn stood up again, he couldn’t find the enemy’s location anywhere. The lounge was empty, as if everything before had been an illusion.

Some kind of magic to deceive the vision, maybe?

Without hesitation, Lynn cast a "Mage Shield" on himself. At the same moment, that subtle sense of danger returned, this time coming from his side.

"White Phosphorus - Fire Resistance Ring!"

This time, Lynn, fully focused, instantly retaliated. He did not know where the attack came from, but he also did not need to know!

Scorching flames surged from around him, spreading in all directions without dead angles, cracking the layers of paving stones on the ground and rolling up everything in the fiery tornado...

The ring of resistance was one of Lynn’s results from studying force field magic, also a spell from the upper third tier!

This single blow consumed a quarter of Lynn’s magic power, but the effect was especially remarkable. At such close range, there was absolutely no escape, and the dreaded white phosphorus fire quickly clung to the attacker...

Shrieks and wails rang out in the lounge, as a middle-aged wizard’s silhouette faintly appeared within the flames. His body was already ignited, the white phosphorus devouring his flesh like maggots in bone, helplessly flailing his arms as though dancing in the fire...

Just as he had thought, this kind of magic could only deceive the eyes, not truly make one disappear!

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief, but soon noticed that the wizard engulfed by the flames was clutching a weapon that had fallen to the ground, which was not a dagger but a short sword...

Lynn’s pupils constricted, and a chill surged through him again, meaning that there was more than one attacker!

The moment he realized this, the "Mage Shield" cast upon him shattered once more, fortunate that the deflection field worked, and the sudden attack barely missed him.

The strange dagger only appeared for an instant when it shattered the "Mage Shield," then disappeared without a trace.

But just because he couldn’t see any clues visually, didn’t mean his other senses were useless!

Lynn’s index finger trembled slightly in the air, sending out barely detectable waves of magic power in a circular spread. They returned upon colliding with obstacles, and the only object in the room frequently changing position in human form was undoubtedly the first attacker!

Contrary to his expectations, the attacker did not approach him again but ran frantically towards the exterior. Clearly, the successive failures and the tragedy of his companion had already instilled a desire to retreat...

Thinking of escaping now? Too late!

Lynn’s gaze sharpened as he changed the vibration frequency of the magic waves, adjusting it to a frequency similar to that of the brain.

Unlike the battle with Ailoke and others, Lynn had no intention of holding back this time. Such a special and hard-to-detect attack immediately took effect. The fleeing attacker felt as if his brain was about to explode, tumbling awkwardly to the ground, no longer able to maintain his magic, and his figure soon became visible.

Lynn finally saw clearly that the attacker was a man in a gray robe, with gaunt cheeks, sparse and messy hair, deep-set eyes, prominent cheekbones, and his hands tightly clutching his head. His face was ferocious, and his whole body appeared to be in pain and twisted.

The next moment, four ice blades emerged from nowhere and directly impaled his limbs.

Lynn stopped the release of Resonance Magic, walked forward, took the bizarre dagger, and then looked down at the gray-robed wizard who was lying on the ground unable to move. He coldly questioned, "Name, identity, and the reason for attacking me?"

The gray-robed wizard didn’t seem to intend to reply, his face filled with a frightened and uncertain expression, as if he hadn’t yet recovered from the intense pain that felt like his brain was about to burst.

"Forget it, I’ll check myself!" Lynn didn’t resort to those flashy interrogation methods, placing his hand on the head of the gray-robed wizard, and activated the Spiritual Magic he had acquired from Radak.

[Memory Retrieval]

This type of Spiritual Magic could search through a person’s brain for relevant memories, but it usually only worked when there was a substantial gap in strength, or when the other party’s mental state was unstable, which clearly was an ideal opportunity now.

However, just as Lynn touched the opponent’s memory, the gray-robed wizard’s pupils suddenly dilated, his body trembled continuously, and before Lynn could react, he collapsed on the ground, lifeless.

Another thing akin to a soul restriction?

Lynn furrowed his brows, not unfamiliar with this situation. Previously, at Yiyeta Harbor, when interrogating a wizard apprentice named Nu’er, he had encountered something similar.

Only a grand mage skilled in Spiritual Magic could place a soul restriction inside the brain of a genuine wizard, causing sudden death and disrupting their memories.

The fire caused by the [White Phosphorus - Fire Resistance Ring] and those piercing screams and moans were all too clear in the quiet estate, so just over a minute after the attack commenced, the room door was forcefully opened.

"Professor Lynn, I just heard an explosion and screams. What happened?" Philip and Kevin were the first to arrive, and seeing Lynn standing unharmed in the room, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I’m unclear myself; I was just about to rest this evening when these two attacked me." Lynn kicked the corpse at his foot, saying quite perplexed.

Since his arrival at Green Rael, it seemed he had only offended the wizards of the Prophecy School, who should’ve acted before the validation of the theory of gravitation if they wanted to take action.

Surely no one was so frustrated over the difficult math problem he posed that they decided to kill him on a whim?

Philip and Kevin hurriedly looked at the two attackers; one was nailed dead at Lynn’s feet with ice blades, while the other was already burned beyond recognition by the intense White Phosphorus Fire, silent long ago.

The skin exposed outside was torn in the struggle, blood dried up, and the chest even had holes where fingers had gouged, presenting a horrifying death scene. The residual White Phosphorus flames continuously devoured the flesh as nourishment, growing in strength...

Is this the so-called flame from hell?

Philip and Kevin suddenly recalled the [Hellfire] mentioned by Laud when Lynn first arrived at the Yiyeta Academy.

They hadn’t taken it seriously at first, but after witnessing the death of the attacker, they understood the terror of this fire, worthy of the name [Hell]!
